Odysseus is sitting on the island of Alcinous and he is telling the court where he has been for the past ten years.
After he and his men escape the Cyclop’s island, they encounter the Wind God Aeolus who gives Odysseus a bag of "bad" winds - the north, the south, and the east winds, leaving only the west winds to help him get home.
Julian – If Odysseus had only told the men what was in the bag, they would have trusted him and not opened the bag. When they opened the bag, the winds were released, causing the ship to blow back out to sea!
Now he is on the island of the lovely enchantress Circe.
